First-of-its-kind platform brings residential and commercial under one roof, giving UK agents more control, higher earning potential, and global reach
eXp Realty®, the largest independent real estate brokerage in the world and a core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), has announced the launch of eXp UK Commercial, expanding the company’s commercial real estate capabilities in one of Europe’s most dynamic property markets.
With this launch, eXp becomes the first agent-powered platform in the UK to offer both residential and commercial services under a single model, part of a broader global strategy to empower self-employed agents with access to tools, training, and opportunities across the full property spectrum.
It also builds on eXp UK’s rapid growth in the residential sector, where its self-employed model has already reshaped the estate agency landscape.
“The UK commercial property sector has grown substantially. It’s a $10 billion opportunity hiding in plain sight,”
said Adam Day, International Expansion Leader for Europe.
“Traditional commercial models have kept too many agents from benefiting fully with the freedom, earnings potential, and flexibility to serve clients across all markets, but we’re changing that. Plus with the backing of our global community, agents can now maximise interest in UK commercial property on a

Fifth global launch in 2025 accelerates eXp’s Asia Pacific momentum and agent-first movement
eXp Realty®, the largest independent real estate brokerage in the world and a core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), today announced its official entry into South Korea, its fifth international launch of 2025, and second in Asia this year after Japan. The expansion builds on rapid agent-led momentum across Peru, Türkiye, Ecuador, and Japan.
In Korea, where traditional brokerages still rely on fixed offices and rigid hierarchies, eXp is launching with a fundamentally different platform: AI-native, borderless, and built to give agents more freedom, flexibility, and control over their future.
“Most brokerages in Korea are running on an old model, built for the boss, not the agent,”
said Felix Bravo, Managing Director, International at eXp Realty.
“And they’re doing exactly what they were designed to do: control agents, limit upside, and protect the hierarchy. You’ve got people putting up real numbers, doing international business from their phones, and they’re still stuck under office quotas and legacy rules. That’s not a system you fix. It’s one you replace. We’re not here to compete with that model, we’re here to end it. And to give agents a platform that

eXp Realty Launches in Japan, Marking Fourth Global Market Entry in 2025

Japan joins eXp’s growing Asia Pacific region as more agents seek models offering freedom, ownership and global reach.
eXp Realty®, the largest independent real estate brokerage in the world and a core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), announced its official expansion into Japan, marking the company’s fourth international launch of the year, following Peru, Türkiye, and Ecuador.
“Agents in Japan have operated for years in a system that leaves little room for upside,”
said Felix Bravo, Managing Director, International at eXp Realty.
“It’s not about working harder, they already do. The problem is structural. Most models take too much and give too little in return. We’re bringing a platform that flips that equation. Better economics, real ownership, worldwide leverage. That’s what eXp is about.”
To kick off the launch, eXp will host a live welcome event in Tokyo on October 2, 2025, where company leadership will share the vision, model, and what this moment means for agents ready to take control of their business.
The Japan expansion strengthens eXp’s presence across Asia Pacific and advances its 2030 goal of reaching 50,000 agents in countries outside the U.S. With the most scalable business model in real estate, eXp supports solo agents running lean,
